Me and my family went to Tung Ping Chau (Tung Ping Island) Marine Park. It is one of the few Marine Parks in Hong Kong that are listed
as a Protection Area. Only authorised motorized boats are allowed to dock at the pier.
Tung Ping Island is a very small island, the round-the-island trail is only 6km long. We passed through the village general store and went on to
the shore. It was not disappointing as soon as we saw different types of corals and sedimentary rocks on the beach. As we walked past certain
sections of the trail, we saw different types of rock formations.
On the way to Tung Ping Island, we saw the subsidiary dam of Plover Cover Reservoir.

We found quite a lot blueberries on the island.
Shoreline at Tung Ping Island consists mostly of sedimentary rock. But from far, you can see Mainland China where sedimentary rocks cannot be found.
Cresent Beach.
Wow, look at how small we were.
This is one of the big splits of the island.

The root of this tree grew sidewise into the layers.
Yes, ....some parts of the round-island trail will get wet.
It is quite an amazing island.
We were jumping back and forth on these layers.
We were at Lan Kwo Shui beach, which means "Difficult to cross" in Chinese.
Trail map along the island is the most common route.
Kang Lau Shek, which means "Watch Tower Rock" in Chinese.
